What is salsa?
Salsa is a dance that originates from a fusion of different cultures. It evolved mostly from Latin and Afro-Caribbean dances. There is a myth that mainly it originated in Cuba, it is some what true.
Notes: "While it is definitely more than just Cuban, a large part of the dance originated on the island. The French who fled from Haiti brought the Danzón or the country-dance of England/France to Cuba. This dance began to mix with the African rhumbas such as Guaguanco, Colombia and Yambú. Added to this is the Són of the Cuban people, which was a mixture of the Spanish troubadour (sonero) and the African drumbeats. This type of syncretism occurred in other places like the Dominican Republic, Colombia, and Puerto Rico, albeit not at the same grand level and manner as in Cuba."
